Figure 2 A 1/4 loop of the coil is extruded out of the Berenstein catheter. The snare is loosened and withdrawn gently so that it slides off the catheter onto the "hook" of the loop to snare the coil. To minimize entanglement with Dacron fibers on the coil, no more than 2 to 3 mm of the coil tip should be snared. White arrows = tracheal air column.
